Abstract
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness and safety of sacituzumab govitecan in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), we performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing sacituzumab govitecan with chemotherapy.
Methods: We systematically searched multiple databases for relevant studies. Primary outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and adverse events (AEs). Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software.
Results: Three studies were included after rigorous screening and quality assessment. Compared with chemotherapy, sacituzumab govitecan significantly prolonged PFS [HR 0.57; 95% CI 0.43, 0.77; P = 0.0002], improved OS [HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.48, 0.85; P = 0.002], and increased ORR [RR 2.84; 95% CI 1.27, 6.37; P = 0.01]. However, sacituzumab govitecan was associated with higher incidence of AEs (P < 0.00001).
Conclusion: In this study, sacituzumab govitecan demonstrated improved PFS and OS compared to chemotherapy regimens in patients with MBC. Further research is required to validate its broad applicability and long-term treatment stability.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology publishes original papers on all aspects of clinical pharmacology and drug therapy in humans. Manuscripts are welcomed on the following topics: therapeutic trials, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, drug metabolism, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, all aspects of drug development, development relating to teaching in clinical pharmacology, pharmacoepidemiology, and matters relating to the rational prescribing and safe use of drugs. Methodological contributions relevant to these topics are also welcomed.
Data from animal experiments are accepted only in the context of original data in man reported in the same paper. EJCP will only consider manuscripts describing the frequency of allelic variants in different populations if this information is linked to functional data or new interesting variants. Highly relevant differences in frequency with a major impact in drug therapy for the respective population may be submitted as a letter to the editor.
Straightforward phase I pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies as parts of new drug development will only be considered for publication if the paper involves
-a compound that is interesting and new in some basic or fundamental way, or
-methods that are original in some basic sense, or
-a highly unexpected outcome, or
-conclusions that are scientifically novel in some basic or fundamental sense.
